It Begins!

The decision has been made! We're getting chickens! But, not quite yet. We have a lot of preparing to do! Our goal - Spring 2018!

Future site of the permanent coop and run:

I was facing due north when I took this picture.

As it is right now, there is a Mesquite tree on the left, a compost bin, then a Crepe Myrtle Tree(?). We purchased the Crepe Myrtle as a "tree" but we're thinking it was incorrectly marked. It's a bush. We've kept it trimmed ~ to a certain existent. Oh well. I love it. When it does bloom, they are delicate white flowers.

I'm thinking the coop needs to be on the left side (west) with the run extending toward the east. We'll see...

Right now I'm gathering information, reading everything I can, watching the marvelous Youtube videos folks have shared, and asking lots of questions on the Facebook groups I've joined!

Stay tuned!
